I just started to use the power aura addon for my secondary spec (ret) and love it. It dings and gives me a little icon while the Art of War buff is on me, which makes it much easier to know when I can throw in that extra exorcism or heal. I like it so much, I decided to add a second power aura: one that notifies me when I've applied 5 stacks of vengeance/corruption on the mob.

This is where I am stuck. I am having trouble getting power aura to read that I've applied the 5th stack, despite it showing up in my combat log "...corruption (5)." I am pretty sure it can be done through power auras, I just haven't figured out how. Has anyone created it? If so can you tell me how or, better yet, export your power aura string here?

Rom, I just downloaded and used Power Auras in raid last night. If Fafhrd's tip didn't help, I can break down my Power Aura setting for Holy Vengeance 5-stack on targeted mob.

PS - Power Auras rock. I've got it tracking Art of War, Vengeance on self, Fury of the Five Flights 20-stack, and 5-stack Holy Vengeance on target. Trying to think if there's anything aside from Holy Vengeance stacks I'd want to track as prot so I can get maximum usage out of it...

Other people's debuffs and buffs are always nice Baelor, if you're not using some other mod for that already - one aura for Curse of Elements/Ebon Plague/Earth and Moon, another for Sunder/Expose Armor (handy for this kind of thing is the fact that you can specify multiple buff names for a single aura by separating them with "/", and the aura will match any of the names in the list.

I have some for other random stuff too, like recently bandaged, encounter buffs/debuffs like storm power and cave in, ranged based buffs like dranei hit aura and windfury, etc.

The ones I always want, like battleshout/BoM and hit aura are set to display only when in combat and the buff is missing.

I use a forbearance setting, set to show if it's on me.A divine Plea setting that is "Show if not on" for prot and "Show when active" as ret.A Sacred Shield setting that blinks a huge aura at me if it isn't active on me.Also some stock settings that came with the UIPackage I downloaded it from that show a timer for Priest shields and stuns. As well as a big "STUNNED" and "SILENCED" and a neat little "Danger" thing when I get below 50%.

a) If I want to use this for Icebound Fortitude, anything I need to do other than replace the spell-name?b) Can I make the animation into a horizontal bar that shrinks as the duration decreases (think DBM cast-bars)? A timer would also be pure gold.

There's red button somewhere that says Import. Just copy and paste the text into that.

While I love the look of Magnilda's setup - not sure if it would get too cluttered with all the other raid stuff that's usually flying around.

I have my Power aura's set up very simply by comparison. Got it so that a giant blue ring surrounds me if Divine plea is not active on me, a big orange ring if there is no sacred shield buff active on me (mine or another paladins), also just in case got it so that there is a giant red bar if RF isn't active

Means that mid fight if I see one of these aura's appear I know I need to quickly break my rotation to click a different button to make the aura disappear again.

I also have a few set to appear when HoSalv / divine shield are active on me with a timer so I know how long I am covered and when I have to shout out for external CD's.

On a side-note, is there any way of having 2 profiles set up easily so that when I switch spec my Prot Poweraura's don't appear but my retri ones do and vice versa?

^this

I use it for sunders and combat points, and while I haven't quite figured out the combat points thing(i.e. want it to stay up when I get that point instead it disappeares when I get the next :/) my sunder one works wonders for my warr. First one is >1 2nd is >2 3rd is >3 fth is >4 and 5th is =5 and you are done, jsut make 5 seperate power aura icons to pop up and you are good to go, or jsut make it one icon that pops up only when you have 5 by making it's stacks =5.

After only two weeks of using it, I'll definitely say I wouldn't want to run the game without it. Want to know when Art of War procs AND Exorcism is available to use? Power Auras can do that, and it'll tell you right away in the middle of your screen (if you so choose) without having to sift through buff bars and possibly risk cast timing it.

Want to know when your seal falls off?

How about when Blessing of Might falls off?

Or when your aura isn't on?

Power Auras can do all of these things (and far more) and it'll tell you how you want to be told.

Is it light, though?

Means a bit more work in EBB to blacklist some buffs ... but nice.

Even though I'm a little anal about these 3 things, it's a nice reminder to have, for sure.

When I first read this part, I thought you said "and I'll tell you how you want to be told". I got a little excited. But if it does that, then I'll STILL be excited!
